Noguchi to Asawa: Designing Postwar America

Barnes Foundation · Philadelphia, United States

This exhibition at the Barnes Foundation brings together the work of six Japanese American artists and designers, including Isamu Noguchi and Ruth Asawa. It demonstrates how their creative practices—redirected by wartime incarceration—helped define the aesthetic of modern domestic design in postwar America through objects ranging from furniture and lamps to graphic album covers and woven sculptures.
